    I know what you mean Stacy, if I'd started working full time when I was 18 and not gone to uni I'd have had no debt. I doubt I'd have got anything on credit, and I saved 2k when I was working p/t at college as I was a real saver back then. As it is my job is crap and I'd be earning the same degree or not, plus I'd have had nearly 6 years working and would probably have been able to save enough for ahouse deposit by now *sigh*.
    Finally bought a home

    Stacy- I'm sure tweaking your cv will help it gives it a fresh look- fingers crossed you get something soon, 6ph for working at 2am sucks! :-(
